[FR]: 'No grid export' #851
Comments
You can use settings from integration whe you setup SolaX Export Control User Limit=0 for export energy to the grid. If the value of the electricity is positive you can return value of limit back. All proces is easy to handle automaticly via Automations if you will be checking price from supplaier continously.

Thanks @romankysely, I didn't know this setting. I assume this writes to the EEPROM, thus should we avoid setting this too much? Is there a equal setting or mode using the remote power control? |
Yes I suppouse there is EEPROM write unfortunately but I did not find any relevant option via Remotecontrol. May be change YAML code to write to registere after minus/plus state not each hour. |
Setting it only once would indeed be better then (and easy to do, so that's not really a problem). I'm using the remote power control a lot, and I was looking for this functionally there as well. In the wiki, there's this fragment (last entry of https://github.com/wills106/homeassistant-solax-modbus/wiki/Modbus-Power-Control-(remotecontrol-power)#parameter-entities):
The export-limit sounds like what I'd need, but unfortunately this isn't working it seems. Maybe someone knows what's wrong with it, or if it needs testing in some kind. Anyhow, thanks for the answer, I'll use this for now. |
We have about 1.000.000 hits to EEPROM I suppose :-)) |
Seems like a bit off-topic for this feature request, but I guess you could take a look at https://github.com/wills106/homeassistant-solax-modbus/blob/main/custom_components/solax_modbus/plugin_solax.py#L329 - seems like the limits are defined over there. I only have a single 6kW Gen4 setup, so no help from my side. |
Thx for interesting source of info. |
Closing this, as the "solax_export_control_user_limit" is the parameter needed to limit the export towards the grid. |
Description
We have, when the energy price is negative, a penalty when you export electricity to the grid. As long as the battery isn't fully charged, excess PV energy is sent to the battery.
Is there a mode in "Modbus Power Control" where excess PV power isn't sent to the grid, but "discarded"? The only way I currently can do this is to turn of the inverter completely, but the side-effect is that we then use grid-energy for the house load, while there actually is PV power.
Suggested Solution
No idea - either some documentation or a good example on this...
Alternatives
Turning the inverter off. If the energy price is significantly negative, this has no downside. Due to the way grid export is calculated when the price is close to 0, this comes at a cost.
Additional Context
Solax inverter, Gen4, already using modbus power control for charging/discharging etc.
